The permissive and desirous will of God aren’t identical entities (except to extreme Calvinists).
Few, let alone God, are truly “desirous” of Mitt Romney as a president. But perhaps even from a divine perspective, Mitt the unbeliever is more auspicious than Obama the unbeliever. The fatal flaw would be to view Mitt as anything more than a stop gap, just like the Hebrews in Egypt ultimately suffered when a system of Pharoahs that never did acknowledge the Hebrew God turned on them even though that first Pharoah was very friendly.
| PLEASE THINK ABOUT THESE POINTS 1. Has any person whose name corresponds to the title of a famous horror movie ever put their name into nomination to become the President of the United States? No. 2. Has any person whose name corresponds to the title of a famous horror movie ever won the nomination of their Party to be their candidate for the President of the United States? No. 3. Because this has never happened before, it is NEWS. Perhaps not for Romney supporters, but it fits the definition of NEWS for the mainstream pro-Obama media. And it would fit into the definition of news for future historians and encyclopedias. This is an interesting piece of information at least. 4. How will they use it, i.e. once it becomes common knowledge in the newsrooms of the nation? Of course, they do not frequent FreeRepublic so this has not happened yet, but it will happen eventually, they will send it all around just for laughs. 5. And some enterprising journalist, who is asking questions during a presidential debate, will ask Willard how he feels about this, of course with a detailed prologue so everyone knows what he is talking about, and knows what to Google after the debate, and all of sudden, this is national news, the Republican Candidate tied to a horror movie. The movie is tied to his first name, the connection cannot be broken. Will his administration be a horror movie? This question automatically pops into everyone's mind. 6. This is like an IED buried in the road ahead, and you know they are going to detonate it when Romney's car passes over it, and you are going to have a big mess. 7. What EASY pickings. They would of course be smart to sit on it, that would take some discipline, until after Romney is officially nominated. And let it out in the middle of presidential debate, where newspapers could pick up on it on that basis. Romney supporters want to turn their attention away from this. But Obama's Machine will turn the attention of the whole American public in this direction. They can't help themselves. They will try to do it in a clever manner surely, but clever or no, once the FACT OF THE CONNECTION is in the public mind, it becomes a chain wrapped around the Romney campaign. People will wonder what does it mean? Some people will think to themselves, Romney supporters, it means nothing. But what about those who have no internal incentive to force the imagination to shut down all activity on this subject? We could have a contest here, and see who can come up with the best properly framed question that a journalist is likely to ask Romney during a presidential debate. For example: Wolf Blitzer: "Governor Romney, you appear to be the first candidate in American history whose first name corresponds to a popular and well-known horror movie, it goes by the name of Willard, who releases an army of rats onto his enemies. In my research, I found that there was no such movie named Franklin, no such movie named Harry, no such movie named Dwight, no such movie named John, no such movie named Lyndon, no such movie named Richard, no such movie named Gerald, no such movie named Jimmy, no such movie named Ronald, no such movie named George the First, no such movie named William, or even Bill, no such movie named George the Second, and no such movie named Barrack. I checked. You are unique, of all Presidential candidates during the movie making age, that has a horror movie of the same name. Willard. How do you feel about that? What can you possibly say to the American people that will convince them that your administration will not be just another horror movie?" One might think he could say, well, "look at my record in Massachusettes." But his job creation record was 47th out of 50 states during his years on the job. No matter what Romney says, the connection will be out there, and there is nothing he has ever done in his whole life that can neutralize that connection. Wasn't that car crash, where you were driving, where the wife of your Mormon mission leader was killed, a horror movie? Were not those businesses you shut down a horror movie for those who lost their jobs? The more people get into the process of trying to decide what in Mitt Romney's life was a horror movie and what was not, the deeper the connection to the actual horror movie will be. If Willard M. Romney is the Republican Party Nominee, every person in the United States will know, and will have this knowledge in their heads when they walk into the voting booth on November 4, 2012. Every person will know that the first name of the Republican Candidate for President, Willard M. Romney, has a horror movie of the same name, Willard, something about an army of deadly sharp teethed slashing rats. Then we can talk about down-ticket consequences. |
